This volume deals with descriptive complexity issues in linguistic
theory formation. Starting from recent results on the transparent
logical characterizations of context-free fragments of Generative
Grammars it is a progress report on the attempts of meeting the
challenge of providing controlled extensions of the formal apparatus
which retain its agreable properties like decidability and transparency
while admitting exactly the expressive power necessary for linguistic
applications.

The main goal of this book is to present a detailed investigation of a
number of movement types and especially of certain assymmetries that
exist between them. The analysis is carried out within the principles
and parameters framework of Generative Grammar, and is based on evidence
from a variety of languages (among them German, Russian, Korean,
Japanese, Chinese, French, Dutch, Polish, Bulgarian, Danish, Swedish,
and Italian).
